Chennai | Friday | 18th January, 2019

Summary:

There was hardly any person from BC and OBC castes when it came to associate professors and above, he said. Therefore, the Centre, before implementing 10% reservation for upper castes, must see to it that all vacancies for BC and OBC castes are filled in the central departments," said Stalin. However, several departments even under Javadekar’s ministry had not implemented the reservation for backward people fully, he said.In 40 central universities, only 14.38% of the assistant professors were from BC and OBC castes. "The 27% reservation for backward class people has been completed not even in one department. People will definitely answer to this question very soon," he said.He said the Mandal Commission recommendations to reserve 27% in all central departments had to wait 10 years before they were implemented..
